Obama's the latest in a long line warrior presidents. Imperial lawlessness defines his agenda. One war after another rages. No end in sight looms.

War is glorified in the name of peace. It's been that way from inception. Violence is a way of life. Pacifism is considered sissy and unpatriotic.

America isn't beautiful. It never was. For sure it isn't now. Rule of law principles don't matter.

Democratic values, common dignity, personal safety, and general welfare are illusions, not reality.

Violence defines US culture. It's reflected at home and abroad. America has the highest homicide rate among all Western countries.

Militarism's a way of life. Syria reflects a countdown to disaster. A rush to judgment suggests imminent bombs away. Belligerent diplomacy doesn't work. It never did. It won't now. Conflicts assure more of them.

The so-called war to end all wars led to more war. New ones follow earlier ones. They do so one after another. Washington bears full responsibility.

Israel and Britain share major guilt. With America, they represent the real axis of evil. They're responsible for embroiling the Middle East, North Africa and Central Asia in endless conflicts.

So does France. Targeting Syria involves war on a former colony. At issue is shared recolonization in new form.

Demagogues take full advantage. Imperial madness follows. State terrorism is official US policy. America's killing machine never rests. Enemies are invented to feed it. War profiteers benefit most.

It's true under Democrats and Republicans. Not a dime's worth of difference separates them. Duopoly power runs America. Monied interests control things. Whatever they want they get.

They crave waging war on Syria. Proxy death squads have done it so far. Obama's expectant cruise missile diplomacy changes things. He risks biting off more than he can chew.

Rick Rozoff's an activist/anti-war supporter. He's the Stop Nato web site editor. He documents global militarism. He opposes waging war on humanity.

He sees tragedy unfolding in Syria. He calls American leaders "madmen." They poised for war on any pretext. They crave it. They lurch from one to another.

Hundreds of cruise missiles target Syria. They're ready to be launched on orders. Tomahawk diplomacy is longstanding US policy.

It's a "coward's way of waging war," said Rozoff. Ready, aim, fire. Do it safely offshore. Do it from overhead drones. Slaughter innocent civilians in the process. They pay the greatest price for wars. They have no place to hide.

Obama reflects the worst of rogue leadership. He spurns international law. He's circumventing Congress. He does whatever he wants. He's judge, jury and executioner.

Syria, Lebanon and Iran are the only regional countries not partnered with America's imperium.

Until a larger number of world nations choose peace over "armed barbarism," what country will "say no to Washington," he asked? Doing so risks being "the next target."

Going along makes them complicit with imperial lawlessness. Internationalizing war on Syria risks "inflam(ing), exacerbat(ing), and worsen(ing) things, said Rozoff.

Russia's been warning about this all along. It especially does now. Escalating conflict on Syria risks a major regional conflagration. It risks spilling it cross borders. It risks expanding it globally. It risks possible WW III.

One country after another risks getting involved. What's ongoing reflects a possible end game. Rozoff calls it perhaps a "culmination" of America's longstanding plan to redraw North Africa, the Middle East and Eurasia.

Doing so may destroy it. America may perish at the same time. Perhaps mushroom shaped cloud finality awaits.
